when i was in college my best friend used to love watching touched by an angel. she managed to work herself up into tears every week. the concept of the show was that angels went to some new town and found some lost soul and then showed them the good in life or some such […]
usually the stories about hives involve my sister…pre-dawn trips to the emergency room are hazey in my mind. however, last year i was inducted into the club. after a few weeks into my first semester at tulane i called my mom crying…i was broken out all over my torso. it cleared up no problem. only […]

Not just the taunting of children on a schoolyard or the snubbing of a colleague at work, but truly cruel… preying on the grief of others cruel… attacking the defenceless cruel. Apparently there is some Kansas based church group exercising their freedom of […]
the trouble with brown, and i’m not complaining so much as observing, is that it stands out. let me clarify. the trouble with brown skin and twisty hair in a new zealand rotarian context, is that it stands out. even without me speaking people can spot me from a distance. the american accent is just […]
